With Festive season over and the New Year's resolutions begin to fail, or perhaps succeed, here's just a few links as to what the month of December involved for our Armed Forces.

and for those Ladies, or Gents :) interested in a Calendar for 2013, this one is recommended by 40 RM Cdo. Commanding Officer Lt Col Matt Jackson who was determined if there was going to be a 2013 calendar, his men were going to be in it; it would serve as a fitting tribute to all the effort his unit had put in ready for the rigours of Helmand.

God and the Soldier, all men adore, In time of danger and not before.
When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.
